2/ “Every system that’s existed has been a stakeholder-run system, so they’re all PoS systems.
PoS systems are the legacy systems that existed forever where people that control the coins, the stakeholders, can disrupt the network, change it or shut it down.”

3/ “#Bitcoin created a triple-entry [ledger] from the old double-entry [ledger] and the ledger self-audits and writes on-chain. It’s an immutable ledger entry that can never be altered.
That’s the best accounting technology that’s ever been created by humans.”

At @OsloFF, Pete Pattisson talks about how Qatar is using imported slave labor from Nepal to build the World Cup stadium and other buildings. #OsloFF 
Pattisson says that the laborers are housed in squalid labor camps and barely paid. But that’s not what makes it slavery.
These four conditions make thousands of men victims of bonded and forced labor, i.e. modern slavery. #OsloFF
.@Robert_E_Kelly asks Amb. Thae what life was like as a diplomat for the DPRK. Thae says he’s often asked why he defected since he had a good life. Thae says he defected for freedom. #OsloFF
Amb. Thae says he lived a double life as a diplomat. He had to defend the NK system to outsiders, but his family would debate at dinner. When they went back to Pyongyang, he had to make sure his sons didn’t talk about what life was like outside. #OsloFF
Opening reception honoring fallen friend of Oslo Freedom Forum, Raed Fares, is a powerful reminder of how much it costs when we falter in defense of freedom & make excuses for that silence.

Fares repeatedly referenced the "shameful indifference" of the world to Syria. He wasn't wrong.
"The issue is within us, in the dictator Assad inside each one of us. Our victory is dependent on what we change first from within"

Unreal reading Trump gushing at North Korean dictator "ruling his country hard" while reading abt my friend @YeonmiParkNK's torture at his hands. Hard labor, rape, abuse of power. We spend our time talking abt nuclear threat. What about the people who suffer under Kim Jung Un?!
I met @YeonmiParkNK @ years ago at #OsloFF & started reading her book yesterday (available at: amzn.to/2LG0CqP). Here’s some low-lights:
“There were so many desperate people on the streets crying for help that you had to shut off your heart or the pain would be too much. After a while you can’t care anymore. And that is what hell is like.”-@YeonmiParkNK
